Week 4 Buena Experiencia with a recent convert

Hola familia! No siento enfermo ahora lo cual es bueno. Yo necesitaba
para ir al medico pero encontraron nothing serious haha. Mi espanol no
es perfecto pero es mas facil enseñar en español. That sucks you got
an infection but im suprised you dont get more from working in the ER
haha. Yeah im super jealous i couldnt go to that concert but i bet
they will still be touring when i get back unlike Angels and Airwaves!
Oh well not listening to music isnt super bad i can still remember all
my favorite songs in my head haha but when the day comes that i forget
them thats gonna suck. I hope you have fun hunting! Make sure you
update me on shadow and sonnys health I hope they will still be there
when I get back!
Entonces, tuve un buena experiencia este semana! My companion and I
got to teach a recent convert of about 6 months. She took
lessons from some missionaries for a month and got baptized but she
said they both had to leave right after she got baptized. She said
ever since they left she hasnt felt the spirit even when she goes to
church so we decided to teach her about the book of mormon and read
the introduction to her (which i have memorized, well the first and
last 2 paragraphs of it). We talked about reading the book of mormon
and praying to know if it is true which surprisingly she said she had
never done. We told her that if she read the book of mormon and prayed
about we knew she would feel the spirit. Anyways she said she would do
it and we had a really good conversation even though it was super hard
to understand but we understood just enough to know her needs. So to
end the lesson we asked her to say a prayer. She said okay and started
to pray but about halfway into it she started crying like crazy. We
just let her let it all out and then when she finally finished she
said that was the first time she has felt the spirit in 6 months and
she was really grateful for us. We then had to go to dinner cuz we
were already super late but she took a picture with us and we left. I
wish i had the picture, her name was xxxxxxxxx hopefully she comes
back and i can get it. But yeah it was a cool experience. After dinner
our teacher talked with us about our lesson and told us that the woman
we taught told our teacher that she hadnt been reading the book of
mormon or praying and now she says she will do that so she can feel
spirit. It felt really good to know that i helped someone in their
life and i cant wait to help many people more! Well i dont gots more
time to email so i gotta go i will send pictures next week! Con Amor,
Elder Spencer
